Orange County: Pack of Snarling Imbeciles Released from Their Kennels, Given American Flags
March 4th, 2011To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it—please try to believe me—unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness, acuity, than most of us had ever had occasion to develop. Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’ that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these ‘little measures’ that no ‘patriotic German’ could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.

It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn’t happening. It didn’t matter. It was of no interest. The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It’s a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.

I feel ill when watching this. I had no idea how close my country was to a “Kristal-nacht” type of event against Muslims. 1933 Germany is playing out all over again in Orange county USA.
Makes one think that the only hope for this planet is a mile-wide asteroid somewhere out in the cosmos and heading this way.
Vomitous
It’s the debt. It’s the economic reality starting to hit home.
This is what happens when an entire generation reaches in to the bag and finds nothing but bag.
Racism is a symptom.
This is utterly vile! VILE! I realize there are some hateful people here in this country, but what could whip them up into a state of such ferocity and disgusting hatred?!
It’s just sick. Sick, sick, sick.
Those loud mouthed people are so certain that they are right, that they can even contridict themselves and still be right.
There is no logic or reasoning with them, they are ruthless. It is hopeless we have lost, because the rest of us are not ruthless.
@cgroove69: being flat broke, maxed out on the credit cards, underwater on the mortgage, no retirement and 65 years old, that’s what could whip them up into such a state.
Sheesh Kevin,
Sorry, I can’t believe you posted this utter bs nonsense on your website.
On the other hand I really appreciate that you did.
I can’t believe the bile spewing from these ugh,
“people.” That they would even bother to get up off their either toned or flabby american asses to do anything.For shame on all these, yes, **sholes. You mean you didn’t watch American Idol last night?
If there are people somewhere in America who are actually so stupid to think that the enemy is an enemy because they are dark skinned, scarf wearing peoples?
Sheesh. Someone explain to these folks that Rush Limbaugh is a trillionare. He got there by feeding those who have ears, and by goddess. What evil he has fed their ears. Clean them ears out kids.
I’m sorry I’m laughing to myself. I just can’t comprehend what kind of healing can be brought down on the human race. The lights are going to out kiddies. And I mean electricity.
@tito I have a mortgage, high credit, debt all the above and I tend to consider myself non-judgmental, non-biased, and able to allow those who think differently from myself to actually exercise their rights to practice voodoo if that’s their thing. While open discourse I welcome, this vile unacceptable show of hatred and xenophobic behaviour is aimed at the wrong party. If any of these fear mongors were to take a close look at the real culprits of the state of the union perhaps they would be pounding down the halls of congress, Jp Morgan, et al.
Just saying….
What were they saying?
It sounded like Sieg Heil
@cgroove69,
Different people react differently to the same stress.
The worse the economy gets, the more of this misdirected lashing out we are going to see.
I just think it was the economic realities that drove the Germans in the 30’s and it is the economic realities that are driving people worldwide now.
People’s values, prejudices and beliefs all play into how things play out, but it is the economy that is putting pressure on people. It is the economy that is putting all these balls in play in the first place.
@Tito – I agree that the economy plays a part in how people may feel about their situation, but when my father got laid off back in the 80s, we didn’t start protesting against mosques because of the gas crisis, or the hijackings. With a possible foreclosure looming, we all pitched and and did what Wr could to make it.
This behavior is due to the bigotry taught in the home first. These people didn’t lose their jobs THEN decide it was because of Muslims. There are senators and congressmen in this video!! This has all to do with the underlying, and growing, racism that is taught in the home, and nowadays blatantly on FOX news, that fuels this fire.
Most people want leaders to tell them what to do. Unfortunately, many of them don’t know how to lead properly. Hitler is a prime example. So are these yahoos in this video.
“In regione caecorum rex est luscus.”
When the gubment screws up everything they set-up some race/religious group for the blame. The current victims are the Muslims.
